SecretSync — Client-side encryption for Dropbox
- MartinMond 15y agoI use encFS (+ iconv fuse fs for Mac's different umlaut handling) and it works pretty well. I'd have hoped someone wrote a cool frontend to encFS + Dropbox (+ iconv fuse fs on mac)
- Zuhaib 15y agoOr use a service that has client side encryption built in like Oxygen Cloud (disclaimer I work for them)
- benatkin 15y agoIs it OK to have a blatantly false slogan?
- dorian-graph 15y agoI noticed that too and was heavily discouraged from reading any further . .
- cheez 15y agoOh come on, it's advertising.

- tectonic 15y agoI just keep a TrueCrypt volume in Dropbox. I can read it on Mac, Windows, or Linux and it's secure. I use this for taxes and stuff, and don't encrypt non-sensitive stuff so that I get more granular versioning.
- benatkin 15y agoWith TrueCrypt you can actually unmount it and make it inaccessible even to people who have physical access to the machine. I don't see any instructions on how to do this with SecretSync, even in their FAQ, but from their documentation it appears this would need to be done: 1) Open the app and click Stop sync 2) Delete the SecretSync folder (make sure it's really deleted and isn't in the Trash or Recycle Bin) http://getsecretsync.com/ss/getstarted/#stopstart http://getsecretsync.com/ss/getstarted/#stopstart

- JoachimSchipper 15y agoNote that this uses a password known to SecretSync (but not Dropbox) by default (see the FAQ); to be fair, you can use a private password, but...
- SamReidHughes 15y agoNote that this is probably (not that I've read any details on the implementation) not sufficient to hide the fact that you have known copyrighted files in your SecretSynced DropBox storage.
